AI-suggested

Upgrade WPBot to version 8.6.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed by adding proper capability and nonce checks on the AJAX action. No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

The WPBot WordPress plugin before 8.6.0 does not perform any capability or nonce check on the AJAX action that lists stored chat sessions, allowing unauthenticated attackers to retrieve the name, email address and phone number of every chat visitor by requesting a wide date range.
